A creative identity branch within the Marcus Wonyâ Sullivan ecosystem.
Peace Martini is an experimental alternative music project created by Marcus Wonyâ Sullivan in 2019. It originated under the name SUNNDANE.
This branch represents a nontraditional approach to music creation that blends live guitar performance with MIDI instrumentation and digital production. The focus is atmosphere, texture, and emotional progression rather than conventional songwriting structure.
Peace Martini exists as a space for unorthodox expression, often carrying a raw emotional tone that leans into experimentation, mood, and sonic layering.
Peace Martini exists as the earliest structured outlet for unfiltered musical expression outside of rap.
It began as SUNNDANE, but the name evolved due to personal dissatisfaction with how it was perceived. The goal was never intending to sound “normal” or “safe,” but embrace unorthodoxy as identity.
The name Peace Martini reflects that philosophy: a contrast of calm (“Peace”) and complexity or refinement (“Martini”), representing emotional contradiction within the music itself.
A personal challenge tied to the project was the idea that finishing or releasing an album would mark a milestone moment in life. That idea became symbolic over time and helped shape the emotional weight behind the project.
Peace Martini is a music project & it’s a documentation of growth through sound, emotion, and experimentation.
